The Backscratching Manners of A Yalie
By 
Shorter Amy Chua: whatever you think Brett Kavanaugh’s jurisprudence and how it will affect people’s lives as he accepts a life-tenured position with literally life-or-death consequences, it was awesome that he hired my daughter.
It’s too bad that Merrick Garland lacked the driving, coaching and mentoring skills to be confirmed by a Republican Senate.
Brett Kavanaugh is an incredibly nice guy.
That's the point.
The entire point of Brett Kavanaugh is that he is extraordinarily generous to the people around him.
It's all the people who aren't around him that are cut out of the bargain.
